A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, July 12, 2094, with a magnitude of 0.4224. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

This will be the third of four solar eclipses in 2094, with the others occurring on January 16, June 13, and December 7.

This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.^[1]

The partial solar eclipses on June 13, 2094 and December 7, 2094 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.

Saros 157[edit]

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 157, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 70 events. The series will start with a partial solar eclipse on June 21, 2058. It contains annular eclipses from August 25, 2166 through March 10, 2491; hybrid eclipses from March 22, 2509 through April 12, 2545; and total eclipses from April 24, 2563 through April 21, 3158. The series ends at member 70 as a partial eclipse on July 17, 3302. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.

The longest duration of annularity will be produced by member 15 at 4 minutes, 16 seconds on November 22, 2310, and the longest duration of totality will be produced by member 38 at 5 minutes, 57 seconds on July 31, 2725. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.^[2]

Series members 1–8 occur between 2058 and 2200:

Metonic series[edit]

The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node.
